The Black Stars hasn’t been able to live up to expectations and Many Ghanaians have attributed that and the recent draw game against Egypt to pressure on the players to deliver and win matches.
Ghana bowed to a drawn game after their 2 times lead against Egypt in the second group game after losing the first game to Cape Verde.
Black Stars dropped points due to defensive errors, something which has courted a lot of criticisms amongst football fans.
Facing the media during the pre match press conference ahead of their game against Mozambique, defender Dennis Odoi stated that blaming individual players for the goals conceded and attributing it to pressure is very wrong.
“We dont blame any individual. We win together and we lose together. I dont think it’s due to the pressure just that at this level u make certain mistakes and unfortunately we have to pay for it. I don’t think it’s creeping in someone’s head. I think we need to learn from it and try to avoid such mistakes”.
